Active weather warnings for Arizona
# Arizona Storm Center Report
**FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT FOR MARICOPA AND YUMA COUNTIES** — The National Weather Service has issued flood warnings for south-central Arizona due to significant dam releases. Granite Reef Dam continues releasing over 1,000 cubic feet per second, causing active flooding along the Salt River below the dam and at low-water crossings near **Tempe** and McKellips Road through Wednesday morning. Additionally, Painted Rock Dam releases are expected to peak at 3,000 cfs through November 17, causing flooding along the Gila River in Maricopa and northeastern Yuma counties. Residents should avoid low-water crossings and flooded areas, as water levels remain dangerous and unpredictable. Monitor weather.gov/safety/flood for updates.

799 daily readings from 116 reporting gauges. Percent of normal is today's statewide discharge against the historical average for the same calendar day — 100% is normal, not "good". The axis tops out at 200%: 16 readings above that — including the 2242% peak in Nov 2026 — are drawn along the top edge, so a few flood days cannot flatten three years of everything else. The line breaks in 2 places where the record skips more than five days — those are gaps in reporting, not readings of zero.

Flow report FAQ
About Arizona streamflow
What are river levels like in Arizona right now?
As of November 11, 2026, Arizona rivers are running at 259% of normal across 138 USGS streamgauges, and the Verde R Blw Tangle Creek is reporting the highest discharge at 20,300 cfs. The full sortable gauge table is below.
Which Arizona river is running highest right now?
As of November 11, 2026, the highest discharge in Arizona is 20,300 cfs on the Verde R Blw Tangle Creek. See the sortable gauge table for the full statewide ranking.
Are Arizona rivers high or low right now?
Compare the statewide percent-of-normal on this page: above 100% means Arizona rivers are running higher than the seasonal average for the date, below 100% means lower (a dry spell or drought). Each gauge also shows its own percent of median.
Where does the Arizona streamflow data come from?
The U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System. USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes) and the data is the canonical real-time record for U.S. rivers. Snoflo pulls the latest readings and joins them to a 7-day NOAA weather forecast for each station.
What is cfs?
Cubic feet per second — the standard unit for streamflow. One cfs is about 7.5 gallons per second. Small creeks run at single-digit cfs; the Mississippi at hundreds of thousands.
What does Gauge Height mean?
The water level at the gauge in feet above the reference datum. Used together with discharge to track river state. Flood stage and runnable levels are typically expressed in gauge height (e.g., "flood at 16 ft").
How fresh is the Arizona data?
USGS streamgauges report every 15 minutes; Snoflo re-pulls throughout the day. The AI briefing regenerates daily.
Can I get a flow alert for a Arizona gauge?
Yes. Save any USGS gauge as a favorite in the Snoflo iOS app, set a discharge or stage threshold (e.g. "alert me when discharge crosses 2,000 cfs"), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
Is this a substitute for an NWS flood warning?
No. Snoflo is informational. For flood life-safety decisions always follow guidance from your local NWS forecast office and state emergency management. Snoflo data is one input among several.
